trade sanctions
Commerce restriction measures
Trade sanctions are government-imposed restrictions on commerce with a foreign country, typically to pressure that country's leadership over human rights, military aggression, or policy disputes.
They may ban specific goods, freeze assets, or prohibit financial transactions: The international community imposed trade sanctions on Russia following the invasion.
Sanctions aim to inflict economic pain without military force.
